THe OP is referring to lyrics from the song 'Rainbow Children'...

"Just like the sun, the Rainbow Children rise,

To fly upon the wings of a new translation - see them fly, fly

The covenant will be kept this time..."

I think he's just talking about his newly found faith in the JW religion...

He'd always been spiritual and toyed with religion, this was just a postiive affirmation - this time it's for real... this time I mean it....

THat simple, I think.

Still love that album.

Pentacle


"This time I'll be faithful, Mayte, I promise!"

'My name is Nona'


anyway, I think it's a dig at the Jews, who probably didn't keep the covenant

according to the bible thumpers

in line with the other anti-semitic remarks on the wonderful album

Biblical. I'm no expert but the there's a covenant with God that the Hewbrews break or something like that and that's why Jesus rides in on his magical unicorn? I don't know something to do with each disc being 60 minutes long so the pyramids line up with Orion and Spooky Electric is banished to the Dream Factory. Help me out here, I'm losing it.

Wasn't the covenant about the great flood?

Or the Ark?

Hmm...

Confusion!

This, no doubt, will all be cleared up in the forthcoming memoir.....questions WILL be answered.
